Art Gallery

Curating an art exhibit around the theme of time set up a query of designing a physical manifestation of the progression of time. Such was achieved through various methods such as the careful consideration of how light affects the perception of time, light being day, thus active and new, and dark being night, mimicking an end. Further, movement plays a key role by representing the passage of time as one progresses through the exhibit, and views to movement below allow for a moment of external reflection. The subject of each artwork decreases in age as one move’s towards a darker, more tranquil center of the gallery, alluding to the reflection of one’s past and the beginning of their time.

The project was designed almost entirely by narrative, with help from a taxonomy system derived from “T” shapes to form various structural supports and spacial features. Incorporated into the project are planters and a water feature to ground the theme back to nature and the earth, as well as begin to further inform spacial conditions and attitudes. A human study aided in the formation of space for an occupational scale and an instructional set begins to form a story of how the space draws someone into its story.
